Anyone else having this problem trying to buy stuff on itunes?
The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time. Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later.
I was having this exact issue when I was set up to use PayPal as my payment method. I fixed it by -
1. going to my iTunes account and selecting None as my method of payment, then clicking Done
2. confirming this on my account page - which then said Add (or Set up, I can't remember) a Credit Card
3. on the Add a credit card page, I again set up the exact same PayPal account I had before.
4. I was then taken to the PayPal website to confirm that I wanted to use my PayPal account for iTunes purchases, and finally
5. I was taken back to my account page in iTunes, which looked exactly the same as before BUT...
The next time I tried it, my purchase went straight through! (And this was less than 5 minutes after I'd had the "Credit Card processing is temporarily unavailable" message.)
YMMV, but I guess a similar revalidation process would work for credit cards too.

While downloading iOS6 my phone stopped mid stream now its stuck on the apple logo and wont turn off or on or do anything. Is anyone else having this problem
If your iPhone is listed in iTunes, click Restore on the Overview page and follow the instructions on screen.
Should iTunes not detect your iPhone, try the following:
Turn the device completely off and remove the USB cable from your iPhone while keeping the other end of the cable plugged into your computer.
Now take your phone and press the home button.
While you keep the Home button pressed, reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone
Continue pressing the home button until the "Connect to iTunes" logo appears on your iPhone
Now follow the instructions on your screen to restore your iPhone

Hope this helps,

Every time I log onto my iMac profile it starts Safari immediately trying to load a blank page...is anyone else having this problem the last day or two?
Go to: Safari Preferences... and select the General tab.
1. Check to make sure that "New windows open with: Homepage"
2. Then if it still opens blank...? Select the Homepage page that you want Safari to open on and click the "Set to Current Page" button. -
I'm trying to buy a video and I keep getting a message that says, "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes Store." Anyone else having this problem? I just bought a movie last night without any problem.
I am having the same problem. You are only able to purchased when you first open Itunes after the first purchase the password and login details are no longer accepted by the itunes store. This has only happened after I installed the latest Itunes (11.03 (42)) so I assume that it is a bug in the software that that corrupted something on my mac.
On the bright side it means I do not give apple money -
My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.
I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

HT3310 Can't get remote and mic to work at all with my iPad. Anyone else having this problem?
Can't get EarPods remote and mic to work with my iPad 3. Anyone else having this problem and, if so, how did they fix it?
I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result.
What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics? It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system. -
Password is not working but JUST for app purchase permission. Anyone else having this problem?
Anyone else having this problem? I keep entering my password and instead of telling me i've entered the wrong password, it just prompts me again. Password is working elsewhere (obviously - I got onto this forum) and I have tried rebooting the phone. Thoughts?
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

After updating to ios 7.0.4, my ipad air will not allow me to turn on the wifi in the settings, and the bluetooth constantly shows a spinning gear in the settings. I'm currently trying to restore factory settings on the ipad for the second time. Powering off did not help. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?
I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
It might be something in your backup. -

I had the same problem when trying to update from 5.1 to 5.1.1 over ethernet. Try unplugging the ethernet cable and update over WiFi - worked for me. After the update you can plug in the ethernet cable again.
Yes, I had the same problem and resolved by the method suggested by Toccolo...... thanks. -
Iphone 5 battery drains rapidly, I have turned off apps and location even purchased a new battery, is anyone else having this problem? If anyone knows how to fix please let me know. I've tried the hard reset and nothing works.
There was a run of bad batteries for the iPhone 5. Apple will replace them if your phone qualifies and you haven't tried to fix it yourself. See: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support. Unfortunately, you may have disqualified yourself if you tried to repair it yourself.
However, rapid battery drain is only rarely caused by a bad battery. A bad battery is usually diagnosed by a battery percentage that jumps randomly. See this for advice: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain -
My MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) is taking 10 minutes to boot-up. It's also taking much longer to open files. I have 650 GB out of 700 GB left on my machine so it's not that I've overloaded the memory. Is anyone else having this problem?
Look at this comprehensive trouble shooting document;
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
I suggest that you start with SMC and PRAM resets.
Then a Safe Boot.

Firefox is crashing every time I have my MSN email account up. (Since I use it for business, that's many times per day.) It seems to coincide with hotmail's latest update where the email is checked and downloaded to the inbox automatically. Then when it asks me if I want to send the crash report to Firefox, I select yes and it tells me it had trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting I can change? I can't seem to keep my email account up for more than 10 minutes.
p.s if you're reading this Microsoft, it's still not bad enough to make me to go back to Internet Explorer!Hi,

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

I have downloaded the new iTunes 10.7 on my computer with windows vista on it. Now every time I try to run a video it shuts off iTunes. Is anyone else having this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice. Is there a fix? Is it possible I am missing part of the program?
I'd start with the following user tip:
